The blood supply chain as a part of healthcare systems play a substantial role in health improvement within societies, and blood supply for daily needs and especially in disasters is the challenges requiring more attention. This paper presents a fuzzy-stochastic mixed integer linear programming model to design blood supply chain network for disaster relief. To deal with the uncertainty in model...

The environment of loan in bank is very complex, there are not only random factors but also fuzzy factors, so the return rates of loan often have fuzzy random characteristic. Mean chance is a measure of fuzzy random variable. This paper proposes two fuzzy random dependentchance programming models of loan portfolio, one is minimize the mean chance of a bad outcome under the certain expected retu...

On the basis of the possibility measure, necessity measure, credibility measure and probability measure, chance-constrained programming models are designed to treat optimization problems with stochastic and fuzzy parameters. Then, mathematical properties of different models, for instance, crisp equivalents of uncertain functions and constraints, are discussed on condition that parameters are un...

There are many cases that a nonlinear fractional programming, generated as a result of studying fractional stochastic programming, must be solved. Sometimes an approximate solution may be sufficient enough to start a new process of calculations. To this end, this author introduces a new linear approximation technique for solving a fractional chance constrained programming (CCP) problem. After i...

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) procedure for solving multilevel programming problems (MLPPs) having chance constraints in large hierarchical decision organizations. In the proposed approach, first the chance constraints of a problem are converted into their respective deterministic equivalent in the decision making context. Then, the objective functions of decision makers (D...

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a method used for the manufacturing process of a product or service that is devoted to transforming customer requirements (CRs) into appropriate engineering characteristics (ECs) by specifying the importance of the ECs and then setting their target values. Confronting the inherent vagueness or impreciseness in the QFD process, we embed the fuzzy set theory i...
